D200/Micro-Nikkor 70-180 plus 6T/Tulamben Macro

The critters seemed to be out in force at Tulamben! I did 7 dives over two days last week and even though the viz. was unusually mediocre, there never seemed to be a lack of macro subject matter. Here are a few images. All were taken with the Nikon D200, Micro-Nikkor 70-180 plus Nikon 6T close-up lens. Some cropping.:oops:
